This is my first time using forums and I am having some issues accessing my database folder on my website. Currently I am getting this error: The database could not be opened !! Check your config.asp file and set the strConnString so it points to the database. Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.
Code : 80004005
Error Description : 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\x\x.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
I have the current version of snitz installed and my hosting is through Godaddy. I havent installed any mods and I am able to access the forums fine through my localhost test server. I have followed all of the instructions provided in the readme file and I am at a loss, could someone please help me.?
The error message is pretty straightforward and tells you everything you need to do to solve your problem.

Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”
The thing is when I try to access it locally I don't have any problems..but when I try to access it on the web I get the error. I am using the whereami.asp tool and it still dosnt work.
I am just confused on how the whole database thing works...
1. Do I need to upload the data base on to the server? Becase the instructions say that it is safer to have the database outside of my root directory. In my case the root directory is: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysiteAnd my database file: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\database So How would I keep it outside of the directory?..because when I upload it, it will go under the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite\database...which kind of defeats the purpose dosnt it?.....im sorry, I am really new at this.
2. Also, what privilage level should I make the database file or folder. Im not really sure what to do here.
The database folder could be c:\inetpub\database. It needs read / write permissions, for the anonymous internet user, on the database file and folder.<
ok, I am using the direct line that whereami.asp gives me (i have tried bothe strings for access 200 & 97) and both database file and folder have read and write permissions but it still isnt working...what am I not doing here? again...it does work on the testing server.
